Mark 7: 14 - 23
|
| 14 | And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand: |
| 15 | there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him." |
| 17 | And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. |
| 18 | And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, |
| 19 | since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.) |
| 20 | And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. |
| 21 | For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, |
| 22 | coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. |
| 23 | All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man." |
